The X-Air⁺ 800-20 is the latest addition to the DrillAir family of portable air compressors. Building on the concept introduced with the established X-Air⁺ 750-25 model —delivering full air power in a significantly more compact canopy — the X-Air⁺ 800-20 combines higher flow at a practical pressure with a compact canopy. This makes transport and logistics easier without compromising performance, giving customers more choice for demanding applications like drilling and blasting. The X-Air⁺ 800-20 delivers 11% greater fuel efficiency than its predecessor, ensuring a low total cost of ownership and optimized operations across the DrillAir range. The X-Air⁺ 800-20 is optimized for jobs that operate comfortably at 20 bar, such as foundation drilling, abrasive blasting, and pipeline services. By avoiding unnecessary ultra-high pressure, this model reduces energy consumption and wear, making it a cost-effective choice for customers who value speed and efficiency without over-specifying their equipment. Delivering flow of up to 800 ft3/min, the X-Air⁺ 800-20 accelerates operations where air volume is essential. At its core, the compressor is powered by a highly efficient 6.7-L Cummins engine, ensuring durability and performance in demanding environments. The Dynamic Flow Boost feature further enhances performance by increasing flow during the most demanding phases of drilling, such as flushing and drill stem refilling. This innovation ensures quicker borewell completion and streamlined operations. To maximize operational control, the X-Air⁺ 800-20 comes equipped with the Xc2004 controller, a next-generation interface designed for intuitive operation and future-ready connectivity. — Atlas Copco Group, Stockholm, Sweden
